Tesla engineering has developed a ventilator which is “heavily based in car parts” according to engineering director Joseph Mardall. A video was posted to YouTube revealing a prototype ventilator powered by many of the same components used in the Tesla Model 3.
The prototype of the machine shown in the video is driven by the Mode 3 infotainment system, according to C-Net. The Tesla ventilator uses the center display touchscreen as a user interface for monitoring and the vehicle’s infotainment motherboard as the chief computing system, driving valves controlling the flow of gases into the ventilator.
